Oh man! Livejournal is being a bitch today! It took so long to get in, now I've forgotten what I was going to write about.

Oh yes. There are certain words I can't spell because I missed certain days at school. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? I specifically remember missing the day in school when we learned that words like "come", "phone", ( Read more... )

Thanks to random facebook friend Jen Zalar for giving me the best time waster of the century by posting a link from this magical wonderful yet sort of depressing website about social images and their effects on us. I can't get enough! Gender roles, racism, and stereotypes are everywhere! And finally I don't feel that it is entirely my fault that I ( Read more... )

Holding sucks. Especially when you know you have someone on the other line who is holding just as long as you are and has the potential to get mad at you for holding so long. I don't like holding. Only holding hands.

But let's move on to something else that is more exciting than the holding I am experiencing right now. I'm in a show! Long ago in a ( Read more... )

For the record, that modeling thing I did the other day was weird. I mean, it was cool to wear a dress that was made by an exclusive designer. And I guess it was cool to be all "I'm wearing this dress, look at me stand here." But I don't think I'd like being a model for realsies. It's like being a live mannequin. People just come up to you and say ( Read more... )

There is an advertisement (pronounced "ad-VER-tiz-ment") on the right hand side of my page about Veet hair remover. Close ups of smooth and silky legs abound and women look ever so happy to be touching their flawless shins. Alas, I cannot have such an experience. Not because I can't control the hair growth on my legs. On the contrary, I can manage ( Read more... )

This article really put a damper on my day. Just another suicide attack in Afghanistan, but oh how things are so different when you know your brother is residing at the base where this took place. He just got there last week too. All I can do is hope the military isn't lying when they say he can come home in September.

I won't dwell on it though. ( Read more... )

After a glass of wine (maybe two) and some internet boredom, I've decided this memory worthwhile to post on you, LJ, and to send to my friends. Somebody get that baby some milk!

Ok. Is anyone else really annoyed by artsy movies that have deep themes and symbolism but no apparent storyline crux or point? I watched A Serious Man with the BF last night and at first my intrest was piqued. The characters seemed interesting, the setting was in a different period (the '60s) and it was visually stimulating. But lo, I should have ( Read more... )

So lately I've been listening to this great show called Radio Lab out of New York City. It's great because they analyze all this crazy scientific stuff that happens in the world whether it be about animals, humans, space, or whatever. It's a good way to pass the time as I ever so patiently wait to start my new position the week after next.

Anyway, ( Read more... )

You know this apple cinnamon variety of instant oatmeal is really hitting the spot for me this Tuesday morning. It's all hot and gooey with little bursts of apples surprising me here and there. Just puts a smile on my face if you ask me. A smile on my face and satisfaction in my belly. Mmm mmm mmm. Instant oatmeal, you really are the bees knees.

You ( Read more... )
